Vanity URL's have been available on Facebook for some time now, but only to a select few. Now the URL's will become available to anyone this weekend when Friday turn into Saturday, according to VentureBeat.

Got mine! The best part about these vanity URL's is that now people will be able to find you easier on Google.
